About me

Agency Partner and Co-Founder Mark Schafer provides senior leadership in keeping this hard-charging, status-quo-busting agency running with speed and grace. More importantly, Mark's 30+ years of classic CPG, B2B and retail marketing experience brings a well-rounded, rock-solid perspective to SCC clients and people alike.


Prior to starting SCC with college roommate Tim Condon, Mark began his career on the account service side at Mandabach & Simms, working on P&G brands and Citicorp Diner's Club. Mark later headed west, to San Francisco, where he worked as a copywriter and later creative director on Nestle and Weyerhaeuser, earning numerous awards before making his way back to Chicago to start SCC.


In his 24 years leading SCC, he has been involved in a wide variety of brands and product categories, including General Mills, Solo Cup and luxury brands such as Terlato Wines.


Mark enjoys golfing, painting and gardening. He is a University of Iowa graduate and lives in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood — when he's not kayaking near his home on the beautiful Wisconsin River.
